Tasting Notes

A delightfully intriguing whisky, the Glen Elgin 18 Year Old 1998 Special Release is a true chameleon in the glass. At first whiff, you're greeted by an alluring fusion of Greek yogurt and honey, like a creamy dessert with a touch of floral charm. As you delve deeper, fluffy bread and hints of violet dance alongside crisp apple and tangy blackcurrant, creating a harmonious blend of sweet and tart. On the palate, the creaminess lingers, honey-kissed and inviting, while a splash of water unveils a burst of orchard fruits and delicate orange blossom. The finish leaves a lingering impression of nutty brittle and a whisper of smoky oak, rounding out this multifaceted dram that playfully teases the senses with its unique yeast-driven character.
